The latest issue of Automobile had the same type of tone in its Z3-Miata 
comparison. They stated the only reason they prefer the Z3 is b/c its 
new. Well, new or not, $8k-10k more than a Miata and offering no real 
performance advantage is a joke to me (and I'm sure a joke to many other 
Miata owners). I can see many new Z3 owners this year, but more new Miata 
owners. I'll just take that $8k I've saved and buy a turbo for my 95 R. 
I'll be on the prowl for them yuppie Z3 owners. Hehehehe..
